Claudia Parys, Ruminant Nutritionist - Global Technical Support at Evonik Animal Nutrition, points out how to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of rumen-protected amino acids, the concept of Amino Acid Balancing (AAB), and more topics in this video...
Dr. Karen Luchterhand, Ruminant Technical Service Manager at Novus International, points out how cow comfort impact milk production, what is the C.O.W.S.® Program, the challenges dairy producers are facing in the US and LATAM, during AMVEB 2019 in México....
NitroShure™ Precision Release Nitrogen uses Balchem’s proprietary encapsulation technology to provide a more consistent nitrogen supply to rumen microbes, allowing for greater flexibility in feeding programs. It’s a valuable tool for helping producers and nutritionists to reduce ration costs while increasing the amount of high quality protein available to the cow....
Bradley “Scott” Sorrell, Director of Global Marketing, Animal Nutrition & Health at Balchem, describes Balchem’s Choline Encapsulation Technology for the Dairy Industry...
Methionine is a nutritional and functional essential amino acid. Supplementation during the transition phase and at the beginning of lactation improves the health status and performance of high-producing dairy cows. The transition phase is the most critical period in the production cycle of dairy cows and is characterized by a challenged immune system. Factors which have an influence on this are for example stress due to re-grouping, changes in the ration, parturition and the...
In a previous blog, I discussed how feeding ExPress® soymeal to dairy provides a highly digestible source of protein and energy while improving milk production and lowering diet costs. Similarly, incorporating other high-quality feed ingredients, such as high-shear...

A balanced diet is key for human health promotion. Among essential nutrients Selenium is shown to be deficient in many countries worldwide. In animals as well as in humans, Selenium deficiency is associated with a compromised immunity and increased susceptibility to various diseases including the recent epidemic caused by COVID 19. Production of Se-enriched eggs, meat and milk could be an important approach to deal with human Selenium deficiency. INTRODUCTION Many...
Book Description
Livestock Ration Formulation for Dairy Cattle and Buffalo provides an interdisciplinary, integrative perspective and optimization on dairy cattle feed formulation problem solving. It helps dairy farmers by introducing them the right frequency and right amount of balanced diet to be fed to cattle’s and buffaloes at different body condition so that their feeding cost should be decreased and there should be increase in income for dairy farmers, as...
Research conducted at the US Dairy Forage Research Center in Madison (WI) has shown the potential for improving milk nitrogen (N) efficiency by more than 20 % through balancing amino acids and reducing crude protein levels fed. Milk nitrogen efficiency is a measure of how much of the protein (hence nitrogen) fed appears in milk versus being wasted and posing environmental challenges. Experimental Design The forage base consisted of alfalfa silage (21 % of DM) and corn...
A challenge many producers face with their dairy cows is deciding which ingredients to feed them. Is it possible to improve the performance of dairy cows using the right ingredients? The answer is YES! Previously, I discussed how dry extruded corn is a highly digestible source of rumen degradable protein and energy for dairy...
Evonik’s animal feed solutions quench livestock thirst and reduce the environmental impact of meat and dairy production WHITEPAPER According to the UN, four billion people experience severe water scarcity for at least a month a year – and due to our unsustainable use of freshwater and other resources, water stress will increase further. One of the drivers is water-intensive meat and dairy production, which accounts for roughly a quarter of the global water...
NiaShure is rumen-protected to shield the niacin from microbial degradation in the rumen while allowing release further down the digestive tract. Research shows that as much as 95% of raw niacin is broken down in the rumen. Balchem’s proprietary encapsulation process ensures that NiaShure reliably delivers significantly more niacin to the intestinal tract than raw niacin. ...
Bradley “Scott” Sorrell, Director of Global Marketing, Animal Nutrition & Health at Balchem, shares his thoughts on the relevance of Choline for animal nutrition ...
Introduction The rise in milk production has been accompanied by increasing incidence of health problems, declining ability to reproduce and declining the fertility of modern dairy cows. The transition from late gestation to early lactation is viewed as one of the most challenging elements of the production cycle. Perhaps the most important physiological change occurring during this period is the decrease in dry matter intake around...
Introduction Automation can be defined as technology that allows for a process to be performed automatically, with minimal human input. The adoption and use of automation in the dairy industry has grown dramatically in the past decade. Much of the automation adopted has been associated with milking and other aspects of barn management. There is also growing interest and adoption of automation in feeding of dairy cattle. Specifically, the use of automation in feeding of lactating...
